real people and real families and to be
fair in every case, as my record on the
Supreme Court since 2007 shows.
In 13 years as an appellate court judge,
Ive made thousands of decisions. I
know the challenges people face every

safety, and schools. My experience withindividuals from all walks of life has
given me a unique understanding of our

People deserve even-handed judges. Im

More than a dozen former Justices and
appellate Judges endorse my re-election.

Place of Residence:
Raleigh
Education: Campbell Uni-
versity School of Law, JD, cum laude.
Auburn University, BA
Occupation: Chair, NC Board of Re-
view; attorney
Employer: State of North Carolina
Date Admitted to the Bar: 2000, North
Carolina; 2006 US Supreme Court
Legal/judicial Experience: Chairman,Board of Review, deciding appeals of
unemployment insurance and tax claims;
Executive Director, NC Institute for
Constitutional Law; UNC School of
Government; Federal Public Defender;
Federal Law Clerk
Candidate Statement: Throughout my
career, I have focused on stateandfederal constitutional issues. My experi-
ence at trial and appellate levels in state
and federal courts shows a strong
commitment to the rule of law. As a
lawyer, I understand the importance of
our founding principles and the role of
the courts. As a mom, I have a special
motivation to ensure the law is fairly,
justly and consistently applied.
As an attorney, I represented ordinary
taxpayers fighting to protect liberty and
promote freedom by enforcing the
constitution. My clients included every-
day citizens, parents, school children,
and charitable groups. I stood up for a
wide range of North Carolinians, and I
took on corporate giants and powerful
politicians.
I believe policy changes should come
from the people, not activist judges. I
have traveled the state sharing my love
of the North Carolina and United States
Constitutions with civic and grassroots
groups. I have earned a reputation for
understanding complex laws but never
forgetting the fundamentals of both the
state and federal constitutions. I want to
bring my ability and my dedication to
public service to the Supreme Court.
I ask for your vote.

One-stop voting gives a voter the
opportunity to cast their ballot early
in person. The reason it is called one-
stop voting is because the voter has
the opportunity to request, receiveand vote their ballot all at one time.
One-stop voting provides an all-
purpose solution:
if you want to avoid long lines.
if you have a conflict on Primary
Day.
if youve moved within the same
county since you last registered.
Any North Carolina registered voter
who is qualified to vote in an elec-tion may request and receive a mail-
in absentee ballot for any election.
No special circumstance or excuse is
needed to receive and vote a mail-in
absentee ballot.

tion. Unless a county board of elec-
tions requested an exception, the

file or run as nominees of a political party. They are not listed on the ballot
with a party affiliation; thus the candidates are presented in the voter guide in a
non-partisan manner.
